Philosophy of Ministry
If you want to know what a church believes in, you typically look for two things: 1) Statement of Faith and 2) Philosophy of Ministry. The Statement of Faith will tell you what we believe about God. The Philosophy of Ministry is what we believe about how the church is to go about its business.
This is our Philosophy of Ministry. We believe that a healthy church will grow because all healthy organisms grow. The best way to remove any obstacles to health is to focus on the timeless purposes of the church. When we pursue these five purposes in balance, we will have healthy church growth and be pleasing to God. These areas are: Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Evangelism, and Ministry.
- Realizing who God is through Worship.
- Relating to others in God’s family with love and commitment. (Fellowship)
- Responding to God’s Word with others. (Discipleship)
- Reconciling others to God. (Evangelism).
- Redeeming God’s image in us through Service.
